Cheer Up, Pup!

So, now that I’ve got a Basset Hound puppy, I’m especially keen on collecting Basset Hound items. This is why I ended up with many of the vintage Valentine’s Day cards I’ve been showing off here — you want the one with the Basset, you gotta buy the lot. But what’s weird about this particular valentine is what’s written on it…

Not the small circled digit, but on his face… Someone inked a swastika on the dog’s face! Not sure what religious sentiments could have been the actual intent; but I’d rather ponder those than the other options. “Cheer up, Pup! You could have a swastika on yer face!”
